Tech Analyst Review

Working on multiple different projects for an investment banking. My duties are mostly around researching, presenting, designing, and maintaining pure software development projects, with a strong focus on programming and security. The environment is fast paced and the learning curve is high, therefore I also perform internal training to understand the "concepts" of an investment banking and working for them as a part of a tech team.

Improved my skills concerning version control; I also learned new frameworks which were unknown to me before and are typical of a financial company; I learned how to present and deliver ideas to an audience; I learned how to work in an agile environment; I've learned how to manage my time and priority when dealing with multiple tasks.

I've been given responsibility over the development and life of my own teams projects.

I've received a lot support and guidance along with patience and understanding of my inexperience in some of the subjects.

The company was ok and the general atmosphere was great. I was surprised how patient everyone was towards me and my continuously asking questions.

I enjoyed the internship from a social standpoint, but I felt lost, sometimes, when dealing with actual job related situations, but that's understandable, considering this is the point of the internship.

Yes

Do not panic and do not think that someone needs to be the best of the best in order to join the firm. Morgan Stanley is eager to help and let people learn properly. Is normal to feel lost, is normal to feel that the majority of things are unknown, that's the point. Internships and placements are meant to learn and discover new things and new methodologies.
